Persuader Jack Reacher No 7 Lee Child 9780440241003 Books

I am a Reacher fan. If this had been the first Reacher book I read, I would never have read another. In fact, I would not have made it to the end of this, and that would have been a blessing, because the ending of this book is the stupidest thing I have ever read in Crime Fiction, and that is saying a lot. I have learned from this, however, to avoid any future Reacher books that are written in the first person. That's the easiest prose to write, and apparently it signals that Lee Childs is taking this book off, just churning it out, not wasting any time actually thinking about it. If you're determined to read all of the series, save this one for last.

Persuader Jack Reacher No 7 Lee Child 9780440241003 Books Reviews

I'll focus on one plot element here to make a point. A writer of Childs' caliber has the unique ability to convey such horrific physical and emotional stress -- that many readers will feel their pulses begin to race, and own stress levels elevate. I'm not sure who gained the most physical relief when Reacher's head broke the surface of the ice cold water in one scene - Reacher or me! I had a five-week course in drownproofing at Hurricane Island Outward Bound school many years ago and, in addition to the bone chilling, shuddering cold of the ocean water in late August, was the psychological stress of having our hands tied behind our backs and feet tied together with plastic clothes line. In one lesson we had to swim 25 yards trussed up like that, between two dock wooden walls sunk into a cold water quarry pool. The trick was that you only had your head above water long enough to draw in a gulp of air while porpoising the distance to the other dock wall (and waiting hands). So we were taught to exhale before our mouths cleared the water, with that 1/2 second of clearance to inhale. Not a fun feeling if you don't time that right and all you inhale is ocean water. The only physical description more chilling than Reacher's water ordeal is in another book, in which rats play an integral role in confined spaces. I'm a veteran newspaper reporter ( specialized in crime coverage for a large daily paper for 10 years) and I'm in awe of Mr. Child's abilities.
I figure this is the 18th of Lee Child's Jack Reacher books that I've read. I'm picking them off like Reacher in a shooting gallery. And it was perhaps the best one, although they were all good. I loved the telling of the two stories, 10 years apart, that Child uses to slowly reveal the back story. The fight scene where Reacher ultimately takes down the giant Paulie was awesome. And the wrap up at the end is formulaic Child but I thought this one was particularly suspenseful and kept me breathless. Very well done all-around. The Pursuader was great. Trouble is, I'm reading this series faster than he's writing them!
In the seventh installment in the Reacher saga we find our wandering hero again working for the feds (he might as well just get hired on full time at this rate). This time he’s on a sketchy off the books operation infiltrating the compound of a criminal honcho in a dangerous undercover role.

Well, finally after seven books Lee Child has figured out that Glock pistols don’t have an external safety and even goes into some detail about their two part trigger mechanism. I still don’t think he really understands these types of double action only pistols; he’s got Reacher carrying one in his pocket with a round in the chamber. Without a doubt one of the surest ways of getting a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a pro like JR would never do this especially given how sensitive a trigger pull they have.

There’s a backstory about tank rounds and in particular the Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot (APDS) munition. Supposedly there’s some big secret plan about this technology and enemy attempts to steal them. This book is set around 2003 and all I can say is we had APDS rounds when I served in the Army as a tanker in the mid-70’s and there wasn’t anything classified about them. Other minor things like his describing a female NCO in a Reacher flashback having removed her uniform blouse and having a t-shirt on with name/US Army tapes on it- nobody’s got tapes on their t-shirts. On the side of realism later when the same NCO hints at maybe the two of them start dating he nixes it for the right reasons. Reacher explains it’s unprofessional and that their fraternization will only hurt her career. As his subordinate any future achievements she makes will always have an asterisk next to them because the assumption will be they happened because of his influence and not her talent. Absolutely true!

“Persuader” (named after the Mossberg 12 gauge shotgun) is a classic Reacher tale; a taught, page turner with plenty of suspense, action and violence that fans have come to expect. Lee Child has a gift for telling a story and I’ve already started reading the next in the series.
I have had little experience with Lee Child's Jack Reacher character but after reading Mr. Child's expansive explanation of Reacher, how he was conceived, what expectations he hope to fulfil with a character like this, well.... I think I'm hooked. Although I'm not sure I will ever read all of the Reacher books, the fact that Child has told us that Reacher will win is not a disappointment When I look back at some of my favorite TV series that were based on a hero or heroine, it was comforting that we knew, no matter the odds, that our hero was going to win. That said, Child put's a story togethet that is complex, fast paced, and is full of surprises. In fact, in the Persuader, there are more than one situations that Reacher finds himself in that you wonder....Is Child really going to let him die this way? This book is a great read...cover to cover. It will not disappoint..
The first 5 books in this series are amazing, and I couldn't put them down. After Echo Burning, they begin to get formulaic and dull... Without Fail, and Persuader were snoozers in comparison. One thing I didn't like about this one, is that Lee changes to a "first person" format for some reason, I for some reason, i'm just not "feeling" it. "Make me", which I read out of sequence, was amazing. When Lee Child is inspired, he's great... I hope I come across some inspired writing soon.
